and Ladefoged. But how do they pronounce their names?
UrbanLabov (American) [l@'bAv]Ladefoged (British, though UCLA-based) ['ladI,f@UgId]IPA:US [lə'bαv], UK [lə'bɒv]UK ['lædɪˌfəʊgɪd], US ['læɾəˌfoʊgəd]BTW, there is a famous British dialectologist and phonetician called Peter Trudgill ['tɹʌdgɪl]. I've met native speakers of English who didn't know how to pronounce his surname (a dialectal version of "treadle").Piotr
